Hello guys I bought a motherboard and CPU combo, I installed it to my desktop but I can't install windows 7 because I need a gpt harddrive I have mbr and I want to change it into gpt . I googled on how to do this and it did not work because when it ask me to delete my volumes I can not because I have system reserved files.. I really need help

I had the same issue and it turned out to be pretty simple if you have another pc or hdd. Just go to disk management and delete/format there. You have a complete tutorial on youtube so go check it out.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725671.asp... this link is about the most painless way I've found to change MBR partition to GPT partition. I did it a coupla days ago and it worked like a charm.
